Where to begin . . .

Hey Everyone...

I have been reading around the forumn for awhile now but have only joined today.

Im new to this whole TTC thing. I am having implanon removed this week once my current cycle ends. . .Is there anything I should ask my doctor to test for while I am there? Have him check my immunity levels etc?

We are not trying, but also not proventing and are going to let what ever happens happen. I have been half heartly been charting my cycles over the past few months to have an idea of when I may or may not be O but apart from that no temping etc.

We are getting enough pressure from everyone around us as it is, so dont want the added stress of temps etc.

Me 25, DH 29

I think it would be a good idea to just have a general check up with your Dr, I know they like to check your immunity for German Measles. Mine was fine so I didn't need to have the booster but I know that some do.

Another think you may consider is starting to take folate supplements, this can be beneficial and reduce your chances of having a baby with a condition known as spina bifida. Your Dr would be able to explain more.

I didn't chart with any of my children, I basically had a 28 day cycle and went with the theory of trying around 14 days after AF started.

If you are not wanting the stress of temps then maybe just leave it for now and see what happens, if nothing for a while then it might be handy as you may not be O'ing when you think you are.

Hope some of that helps, my first was nearly 6 years ago now so I had to try and remember a bit
